Now with the exhaust is different , I didn’t go with Chinese brand like what I’ve got now and FYI I didn’t have that install it was from previous owner , it’s still loud but I don’t like it as it didn’t sit very well.

With genuine Nissan’s exhaust yea it’s good but it’s not loud enough like how I want it.

So I go with HKS , it’s loud enough than the current.


Now questions - do I need to re-tuned the car with the new exhaust ? What about the horse Power , would it impact ?

If it's a cat-back system it won't affect the stock ecu tune. It will have sensors before and after the cat converters so it should just flow more at high revs and sound awesomeness at idle. If the original Nissan system had reactive mufflers at the rear and not straight through you might loose a bit of bottom end torque but gain more power at higher r.p.m. A proven hks product will just bolt on and be mint for what you want (moar top end and moar noisy) unless you've changed the tube size.
Sounds like the bushes are dead! 
I noticed when we went to mighty car mods you had a massive clicking at the front end like cvs on full lock when parking. Won't be anything to do with clunking though.

I would think the upper control arm bushes could be pressed out and replaced from experience. But I've never owned a highly technological beast like your bad boy. On the cars I've owned it would be just do both sides with nolathane's? Red bushes are stiffer and faster.

Josh said the same thing about having the cvs in full lock - and it’s not a safety concerns.

But the sounds bugging me ! Can you help ?

    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version. 
    • Thanks mate, well done to you too! Yeah not looking forward to doing any major work to it!
